One-Sentence Commute #2 2025

being right is actually never the point

For the next 11 weeks, on Wednesdays, you’ll receive a one-sentence commute prompt. For 2025, all 12 are free for everyone because it’s summer and the air smells nice when it’s warm - at least until sometime in July.

Whether you’re bussing, driving, or walking to work or school or wherever it is you go, these prompts are designed to work with your brain’s relentless desire to find answers.

Ask yourself a question, wait for your mind to answer you.

This week’s question is about anger. We’re getting all the fun stuff out of the way at the jump.

Your questions:

What are you justifiably pissed about?

Why are you wrong about that?

But no, why are you really, really wrong?

It’s basically impossible to admit that we’re wrong when we’re justifiably pissed. Probably, your brain will give you SO many answers to this one. You’re looking for the unexpected answer. Keep asking until you surprise yourself.

You will eventually surprise yourself.

Memorize one sentence, a good sentence.

When you get to a piece of paper and 5 spare minutes, write the line and a paragraph underneath it. Use it to start your next story, essay, or poem.
